Used to be acquaintances with a "real biker" that had a VW powered trike ...
he would pull huge wheelies down main street. It had a fake coffin gas tank
.... the real fuel tank was a 15 gal Olympia keg.

common local use here is as i had stated (the other way around), and i'm
just not saying that to avoid eating crow; it's obvious i'm already past
that point.

You Said "Why on earth would you bet that?" Because over and over
again you have indicated you would "continue to maneuver" At highway
speeds we run out of options very fast.

Re: OT - Motorcycle fuel mileage
Mine has a scooter front with full scooter faring and will lift the
front wheel up in a half second....
It also has a mean rubber u-joint thingie between the front 'scooter'
half and the rear trike half so the seat and front half can lay down
sideways to about 45 deg in a slow tight corner with both back wheels
still on the ground.
